Creative SB [Live!, Audigy, Audigy2, EMU10kX eDSPs] OSX Driver info here!, SNOW LEOPARD @ P1 (1.11b0 on 22/10/2009 by Eugene) Options

[Nguyen Duy Dat]

Great job!
Thank you very much!

[rafatribe]

Hello There, thanks for the driver, it works perfectly on my vintage soundblaster pro,
The only reason for me to use that old stuff is for the midi/game port. I plug my midi keyboard on it.
I don't think this function is supported by the kext. Is there a way for making the soundblaster live midi port available on leopard ?

[ewoox]

Hi, what does this mean? (16/24 bit recording not supported) I was planing about to buy a SB card, because input in my CM8738 is NOT IMPLEMENTED. So do you guys have MIC ?

No inputs you could always buy a Griffin iMic or other similar USB dongle to get inputs.

[rogerrrr]

This is great, thank you very much. SB creative LIVE! worked perfectly right after the install I hear the bleep hehe.

Thanks again

I have the issue, that blows my mind...
Not long ago i bought Creative Live! 5.1 based on EMU10K1. The latest driver from E started working after repairing permissions and booting with -f. But yesterday it stopped working, even with -f. I`ve tried unloading/loading kext by terminal, reinstalling, but nothing is working. What can i do?

well fella, for people to help you out you will probably have to provide more information.

when you kexload, do it with a diagnostic flag (-t) and note the outcome here. try deleting the extensions.mkext in System/Library/ (this is basically what the -f flag does at boot)

i dont have your card so its hard for me to help!

[tuxianer]

Hi,
this didn't work for me. I get s.th. like

CODE

14.02.09 13:38:40 kernel kXAudioDevice[0x66eff00]::init: --- driver start-up, version 1.2b1
14.02.09 13:38:43 kernel kXAudioDevice[0x66eff00]::initHardware(0x6017280)

14.02.09 13:38:43 kernel kXAudioDevice[0x66eff00]::free_all() - iKX interface already closed

I have an Audigy 2 ZS. What can I do? The card isn't detected as Audio device. But Firewir from the card is working.

[litania72]

Hi guys,

Got an Audigy 2 ZS as well. Will the KX.kext work? Sorry, but i have installed ideneb 10.5.6 five times and i am a bit tiiired;-) Will save me some time (i use onboard alc888 instead)

Thanks in advance

Answers to most repeated questions are at page1 (first post). Have you checked that page properly? (the bottom area?). I've a feeling iDeneb has something that conflicts with kX (most dudes who used it, reported problems with kX). Mostly when I saw ("iDeneb" + "ALCxx" + "kx") there was always some sort of problem.

I'm NOT sure whether this will help or not but if it does, your luck: (see below)

When I saw this thread, I was so happy, because I have SB Live! card, that was useless since I started to use OSX on my PC. Yesterday I installed 1.2b1 version of kx drivers, and sound was dead, but after disabling (I renamed AppleHDA.kext) AppleHDA drivers, and one restart everything worked. Finally, I have 5.1 sound

Thank you guys.

Hi, I have a soundblaster audigy 2, i've installed the drive but only output works, input doesn't work.

If I use the 5.1 output in midi configuration the test is ok but then in the leopard doesn't work.

Can i have a help please? Do I have to install the soundflower?

Thanks

Oxtie

is there any word from the sound driver GOD about sleep support?

[faguilerad]

Hi Guys,
I'm a iDeneb 1.4 user, and everything works fine, except for my Audio.
I got a Asus P5GDC DELUXE mobo with CMI9880 Audio. It's works fine but with no input and no volume control. Now i read about this new SoundBlaster Fix, but didn't works to me. I got a SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 PCI Card (01:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS [1102:0007]) and doesn't works. So, anyone knows if this card is support? And if it is, how can i make it work?
Thanx.

[ѕӎѳѳҭңӌ]

it doesnt work with the X-FI cards

[Oxtie]

Oxtie

is there any word from the sound driver GOD about sleep support?

There is only one way to find out, someone has to pm him (No! I won't do it, i have my own reasons ). 

Maybe someone has to bribe E? (best way if you ask me) or send E some windows virus so he can concentrate more on OSX for a while (hehe honestly, I would prefer everyone sending one polite pm )... not many fans asking for it probably has something to do with it...

i dont like to PM people but i have made an exception this time!

Hello Eugene!

First of all i want to thank you for making these wonderful drivers!!

Second of all i want to give you the contents of my system.log to aid in supporting sleep!

I sent that to eugene and like Oxtie said.... everybody else who wants sleep to work properly should probably do the same. in a polite and proper manner i might add!

EDIT: it might be worth noting that after sleep events with sound, such as growl, do trigger some form of reaction from the sound drivers!

that was taken from me changing the volume using the keyboard, then a growl pop up.

hope that helps in some small way E!!!!

hmmm, hope you sent it to right place (that DH forum not here). I have a sneaky feeling that E might pop up post snow leopard release (its just that Win7 is [close to] or [ahead of] snow leo launch which may delay things...)
Anyhow, I'll be off for few days (goin' outta town)

5. iDeneb 10.5.5 conflicts with kX? anyone to confirm this?


No problem with my system iDeneb 10.5.5 and Live! CT4760.
Every thing is Work normally, no sound distortion any more.

[radov4n]

If anyone is interested, just did a 1.2b1 installation on 10.5.6 iPC (Audigy 2 ZS, voodoo 9.6 kernel). Works flawlessly (although no input device, but I am not sure - maybe it's supposed to be that way).

My old Audigy 2 zs has been lying in a box for several years, waiting for this moment

Thanks for making this possible.

[impulsion]

will there ever be any support for 24 bit live (sb0410) cards? i am willing to pay someone for there time and work!!! it would be nice to have sound since i don't have onboard audio on my motherboard!!!

hit me up if you need info. i'll do my best to help
